Abu Dhabi GP: Gutierrez, Sutil fall at first hurdle in Q1

Esteban Gutierrez and Adrian Sutil both failed to make it through when the Q1 revolving door stopped in Abu Dhabi.

Esteban Gutierrez and Adrian Sutil joined the 'usual suspects' in being eliminated in Q1 for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

Gutierrez, who had been an encouraging eighth in final practice in his Sauber, missed the cut by just 0.115 seconds, with Daniel Ricciardo narrowly ahead in his Toro Rosso. Adrian Sutil also went out and was 0.052 seconds slower in his Force India. The German had struggled in FP3 earlier on.

Giedo van der Garde meanwhile led the 'third division' men for Caterham, with Jules Bianchi next up in his Marussia in 20th - although he will drop back due to a five-place grid penalty for a gearbox change after his crash in FP3. Charles Pic and Max Chilton brought up the rear, the latter slowest on a 1m 44.198s.
